That is, rather than learning taking place in a classroom setting with a dominant “voice of authority,” tutors are able to work with students on their learning goals in a non-evaluative (and so, non-threatening and non-punitive) setting. Tutors are able to empathize with student anxieties and apprehensions while showing them that even class assignments (aimed at a group) provide opportunities for individual learning. While conducting tutoring sessions, tutor often learn as much, albeit on a different level, as the tutees. In addition, the interpersonal skills that tutors develop during their time in the ULC are valuable for any career they eventually choose.
